I hate football season because it encourages people to post cryptic messages on their timelines like ‘LFG!!!!’ and my first assumption is always that Trump finally died.

I’ve seen a decent amount of backlash to this article, calling it rape apologia. But I read it more as an attempt to do what bell hooks encourages us to do, imagine a better world. Restorative justice cannot exist where justice and love do not exist. And neither are present in our current system.

If you want to learn more about how pervasive and normalized college sexual assault is, I recommend the book Missoula by Jon Krakauer. It’s a tough read but essential.

I wonder if men are aware of how many potential harassment/abuse instances don’t escalate because women have had to become experts at diffusing the situation without upsetting/aggravating the offending party

i'm glad that today at @mothership.blog we can share a review of the game Moonlight Peaks by @zoehhannah.com. this game is adorable and sweet and a little bit deeper than you might expect

Moonlight Peaks strikes just the right balance between cutesy and deep
It's unapologetically dramatic, it’s cute as hell (literally), and it has *magic*

Say you read one book a month. If you buy the book at your indie, it might cost a few more dollars than from a megaretailer. Now imagine if 9 more people in your community made that switch. What may feel like a small thing is often actually big, especially when we work together 💓

@jacobgeller.com based on your MinnMax conversation about classic versus contemporary horror movies, could it possibly be that you’re recognizing the difference between analog film versus digital video, and film, with its grain and imperfections, subconsciously reminds us we are watching a movie?

‘No matter what side of the aisle you’re on’ sounds nice until you realize there is no aisle. The billionaire capitalists made that up to foment culture wars. Of course this isn’t how democracy works, because Silicon Valley sociopaths have been trying desperately to murder democracy since the 90s.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos
"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.

Bezos didn’t buy the WaPo to make money with it. He bought it to kill it. This was always the plan. Bezos took the loss in order to bring us one step closer to the techno-fascism he craves. Liberals must to wake up to this fact, but we all know how much they love their white privileged ignorance

Saw a video where a middle aged white man asked a young woman at a protest ‘What is fascism?’ She responded ‘I don’t know.’ It was stitched by your average internet tankie who thinks way too much of his own intelligence describing what fascism is. But it’s not that hard. Fascism is capitalism.

Watching liberals jump to calling an Indian man a ‘goat fucker’ just because they hate the man shows that liberals are indeed still deeply racist, they just try to dress it up as political resistance. But the moment it becomes politically acceptable, they’ll be their disgusting racist selves again.

We aren’t experiencing a ‘rise of fascism’. This country has always been fascist from the very beginning because it was founded on capitalism, and capitalism is inherently fascist. What we’re experiencing is a fascism so matured that the fascists no longer have to worry about appearances.

If you work for a living—regardless if you are hourly at minimum wage or you’re salaried with a cushy six figures—you are not a capitalist. Workers are inherently not capitalists, because capitalists own the workers. The biggest lie capitalism has ever sold is that it’s a system for everyone.

I hate when people say Capitalism is a broken system. It isn’t. Capitalism is working exactly as it was always intended to work. The end stage of capitalism is always oligarchical fascism, because that’s how you horde wealth to the maximum. Capitalism is evil, not broken.

Just saw a news story celebrating that Amazon is raising minimum wage for hourly workers to $20, with the average hourly rate at the company being $24. Nowhere did this story mention that Jeffery Bezos makes around $8 million per hour. But yeah, $20 an hour. Woo. Hip, hip, hooray.
